Playing catchup again

Well I can't believe summer is about to start. Carson leaves next week and I will fly out with Auri a few days after him. I'm so excited and a little sad to be leaving my Utah life behind. I've met so many amazing friends in my ward and my family will all be around Utah having a blast without me! I'm just glad I get to come home and visit when Sheradon and Lauren have their baby boys!
So life always has its ups and downs and I swear I always wait to blog until things get really rough and then start looking up. Like now for example. Little miss Auri was a whole different baby the last few weeks. She got the flu and could hardly eat for a week and then she wouldn't let me put her down even for a second or the world was going to end. Then the poor thing got a really bad rash. But yesterday I don't know what changed but she all of the sudden went back to her sweet smiley self again!
My favorite thing about her is that she will look at someone until they notice she is looking, and then she will give them a big cheese ball smile! She also is getting pretty quick at moving around the room, she does this funny scoot! Oh she also has her first little tooth! It's adorable. Her favorite things are wrestling with her dad and going shopping.
Carson's update is that he is just working working all the time! But the other night we got to go on a date to a work casino night party! It was so fun, but it was probably because we cleaned house and won the most money there!! Except it wasn't real money haha, but we did win a few prizes! Also we took a trip (without Auri) to Cancun! Talk about an amazing time! We went with Vivint and it was a blast! It was our first real vacation since our honeymoon and it was nice because I didn't stress about Auri because she was having a blast with her grandparents!
Even though life seems hard sometimes I just have to remember my blessings heavily outweigh my burdens and for that I am eternally grateful!
P.S. My inlaws gave me their piano! Which means carson completed my list of things I wanted in our marriage, a house, kids, and a piano!!

A Ray Of Sunshine On A Cloudy Day

Image
The other night I was putting Auri to bed, and I was tired and a little down with all the stuff life throws at ya. And I was just thinking about if I didn't have Auri it would be so much easier to just be lazy and give up. In that moment I really realized how she makes me want to be a better person. I don't want to let her down because her future depends on me. She is such an example of joy and beauty and I can't help but try to be like her. Even in this scary unknown world, she can put that all aside and find joy in the small and simple things, like the pretty pattern on her burp cloth. She amazes me every single day with how much she learns and grows! I am so lucky to be her mama and I hope someday I can return the favor and be a good example to her!

Sleepless Nights

Auri had her 2 month shots this week and she handled it like a champ! She cried for a few minutes and was fine from then on. She was a little fussy for a couple days because she had a fever and I'm sure her little legs were sore! But I think she was also going through a growth spurt at the time because she was waking up early from all her naps hungry and waking up multiple times at night! Last night was by far the worst. I think I slept for a total of 3 hours and that was broken up over maybe 4 or 5 segments! She had a tummy ache from some spicy food I had for dinner.. We both learned our lesson... No more spicy food! But there is good news too! Carson started his internship and will hopefully be done by march and then he will finally graduate!! Also Carson won an award at vivint for having the top first year office in his region! Which is great and he is going to join offices this year with another team and hopefully have another great summer! I'm so proud of all of his har

Stories I Can’t Forget

This summer, in Indiana, I read this picture book of the Book of Mormon to Auri and Brylee. We finished the book and I had a prompting to say a prayer with my girls and ask if what we had read was true. They answered yes, so I told them that we would pray and ask and then after we would be really quiet so we could listen for the spirit. That was all I said. I said the prayer and asked if what we had read was true. Then we sat there. Brylee was only 3 and was able to sit still for only a minute but after a little bit longer, Auri turned to me and said mom I have this really warm feeling right here (she was touching her chest). I never told her how an answer might come, but this was a testimony to me that the spirit is very real and you don’t have to be a certain age to feel it. I was able to explain to her that the Holy Ghost was answering by that warm feeling she was feeling. A cute story about my sweet Brylee is that I asked her if she wanted to watch a show, and she immediately answ
